EP:93 As we head into this summer season, I want you to take a breath and remind yourself, what is the rush. And the more you do that, you're more the more you're slowing your brain down and reminding your brain there is no threat here, I am safe, and it's really hard sometimes to not just allow yourself to feel safe in threatening moments. That's effort, but it's also effort to allow your brain to feel safe in happy moments and good moments, because we harp so much on the hard, we harp so much on the bad that we forget to acknowledge, or even be present to the good. So I encourage you to start acknowledging that there's good. As you ease into the summer, I want you to keep breathing. I want you to relax your shoulders. Take really big inhales and exhales. Do the thing. Say yes to this the thing, go get the ice cream late at night, let your kids stay up, watch the movie, snuggle with them, have fun, because summer can be magical if you allow it. #thrivelikeaparentpodcast #thrivelikeaparent #podcast #parentingpodcast #podcasts #embracingtheseasons #magicofsummer #selfcare #artofslowliving #nervoussystem #podcastforwomen #emotionalhealth #slowdown #summerseason #thrive #thrivecommunity
